I think I just might have to get out of the Air Force

It's 9:45. I need to call Charlynn but it's too late in Florida. (I've been trying to call for a week now. Why is a one-hour time difference so hard for me to cope with??) William and Katie are working a puzzle on the floor beside me (yes, I am well aware that they should be in bed.) I'm researching curriculum for next year while listening to K-Love via the Internet. They just played that old classic, "Friends are friends forever" by Michael W. Smith. (Lyrics here, if you need a reminder) As the song ended, William asked Katie if that song reminded her of anybody. I knew what was coming next.

He sighed and said, "I just think of Matthew all the time. I wonder what he got for Christmas. I wonder if we'll live at his house when we visit there. I wonder if he still plays with his sword. I just wonder all the time."

Those two really should not be separated, that's all I'm saying.

As I've said many times, I don't know how you do it. Mike just told me that Scott's going to be gone again for a while, also. It's funny how we are able to endure a lot, but when it comes to watching our kids go through something, we just can't handle it.

Doing this instead of email--those rolls are so good, I just ate about six of them and have not gone to bed yet. Just be sure to have people to give them to because it makes so much (although you could just halve it without any problems).

Mike and I are doing BFL and Sunday is my day off. I love doing it that way -- I usually make myself sick, so I'm ready to get back to things by Monday.
